Morphology

corrector = correct (transparent) = correct + or

The cosmetic product is named as an instrument/product that 'corrects' skin tone or blemishes; formation from 'correct' + '-or' is straightforward.

Etymology

Corrector comes from the Latin corrigere, and the rect part means 'straight', which you can see in rectangle. So a makeup corrector helps 'even out' or 'make right' the skin tone.
